United States v. Melvin Lee Foster
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided July 20, 1966 · Haynsworth, Boreman, Bryan
363 F.2d 871; 1966 U.S. App. LEXIS 5423 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Melvin Lee Foster

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The defendant was sentenced to a term in prison for refusal to be inducted into the Armed Forces. He refused induction on the basis of conscientious objection, but he made no assertion of conscientious objection to induction until after receipt of the order of induction, when it was too late.

We have examined the record in the light of the briefs, the argument of counsel, and the defendant’s pro se statement in his behalf, but we find no reversible error.

Affirmed.
